The world has changed. Gone are the days where money was no object and projects were being commissioned on a daily basis. Today money is scarce. Costs are being cut at every corner. Projects are delayed or shelved.

EPCM costs have risen from approximately 7% to 15% of project cost. TKG Minerals (Pty) Ltd is an EPCM consultancy focused on combining quality work with information management to reduce the EPCM cost to our clients. We work smart. We focus on our internal processes to eliminate inefficiencies that increase project duration and cost.

TKG Minerals (Pty) Ltd (TKGM) focuses on both the investment as well as ensuring that the cost of realising that investment is correctly managed through the pursuit of quality engineering and the leveraging of knowledge, thus ensuring overall project return on investment is maximized.

TKG Minerals (Pty) Ltd, a 30% owned level 4 B-BBEE company, is based in Northern Johannesburg, South Africa. TKGM has over 30 years’ experience in the project management and engineering field, primarily focused within the engineering / project management sector of the mining and minerals industry.

One of our skills is the ability to identify and eliminate costly shortcomings and inefficiencies within existing project execution norms in industry. We achieve this through our knowledge of project systems and the use of the tools available to us as well as the management of information.

“The internet now means that access to knowledge and facts has increased exponentially over the last 20 years. The differentiator now is the way we use the existing knowledge to create new knowledge and connect the dots by dreaming up ideas that have not been dreamt up before.“ – Clem Sunter

The existence, or possession of information is not the problem – most people have gigabytes of information: the quality of that information as well as the manner in which it is stored and managed is the key.

TKGM is focused on the efficient management of quality information in order to shorten the time required to perform project and engineering tasks, thus decreasing project cost, increasing quality and maximising return on investment.

It is our mission to reduce the overall cost of projects through the effective use of quality information to ensure repeatability in everything we do.

TKGM will take a project from conceptual design to final implementation and commissioning. Our designs and methodologies assure our clients of efficient, cost effective engineered solutions. We believe in fully integrating with the client to deliver the correct solution first time, every time.
